of making the playoffs? busy graphic but it charts odds of making the playoffs, winning the Prez cup or Stanley Cup through the year for each team. It is easiest if you put you cursor on Tampa in the left column then the Bolts odds are graphed in thick red for each analyzed parameter:

Sad, but realistic recapitulation of the hot start; then great Depression and occasional flicker of hope like last week which looks like a dying stock being manipulated by the market or a last rally headed towards a deathbed for a terminal patient... How painful is it to remember that we were more than 90% chance to make playoffs in the early start and Dinger was gushing over the resemblances to our 2004 team and strongly implying this team could win the Cup??/
